Is there a way to code a level up? As in to make it just level up without the necessary exp points?

[zookeeper]

Nope.

You can just do that with WML, you don't need to code it.

You can't trigger a level-up with WML. What you can do is simply change the unit's type to another one, but in this case the player can't have a choice between level-up options and you must also know the unit's current type beforehand so you know what unit type to change into. For most campaign uses I can think of this is probably enough, however. So yes, what the original poster wanted to do is very likely possible.

Iwant to give the person playing the campaign of the type of unit he is. (Possible choices: Swordsman, Archer, Horseman, Mage.)
Romnajin: yes, I mean WML.

I'm not sure if I understand what that sentence is supposed to mean, or what you want to do exactly.

It is possible to display a menu.

It is possible to change a unit type.

So, maybe using this together you can do something similar to what you want to do...


See "scenarios\Heir_To_The_Throne\Bay_of_Pearls.cfg" for example of a menu (tags [option] and [command]).

Here's a bit of code from one of my scenarios, where you choose your hero, and the keep is on 37,2. Ignore the "begin with gold" bits. Unit-description is the name of the guy....

You might need to tweak it (alot maybe) to get this working... So I suggest you use this as example, not template.
